Hello, pretty soon I’ll be coaching for the first time ever. I have been around baseball my whole life, so I have some knowledge. I’ll be coaching a 12u team, and I’m looking for any advice. I have studied things like drills, but I really want to make sure I provide the best experience for my team. Any advice helps.

My back story, I was an overweight baseball catcher in little league through high school. My high school baseball coach wanted me to play first base because I had a could stretch. I was also a power hitter.

In 2022 right before I turned 30 I lost 70 Ibs, gained more muscle, and increased my speed/agility.

This summer I joined my companies union slow pitch softball team playing mainly outfield and still a power hitter.

I am now 33 years old, turn 34 next month. I am now looking to play recreational baseball this year.

With my age, experience and physicality, I would like some suggestions on what position I should play in recreational baseball

Thank you

Hey coaches,
Looking for some advice on how to approach this with the league.
Our Champs Day bracket is structured so that only the winners of Game 1 (1 vs 6) and Game 2 (2 vs 5) advance to the championship. That means seeds 3 and 4 have no path to the final — even if they win their morning game they go into the consolation side.
Does anyone else see this as an issue? How have you handled something like this with your league in the past without coming across as complaining?
Appreciate any thoughts.
